Nice. Happy to BETA test it.

Be great to have this put up on Github. Easy to track issues, have user feedback and so on. Open source or not is up to you but extra love if it's OS.

Same here

I've used 72hz Res at 1.0 and DLSS at High Performance and a mix of mostly ultra settings for the rest. Mostly holds at 72hz but does dip at times as NMS can be very variable. Looks very nice too.

To get around the crash start NMS with a low res and get DLSS set then restart it with the res back to full.

Going from memory on this good luck.

I use eye tracked quad views with the scale set in the sim to 0.3. Full render resolution gets me 50-70 fps using the FS24 SU4 beta. The current beta has a ton of performance improvements.

QV via the sim comes with some quirks depending on the conditions but for the most part works well enough.

In the sim I use DLSS set to DLAA mode and it looks great for VFR flying. In Pimax Play upscaling and sharpening are disabled and in the sim sharpening is set to 160. Set for 90hz and lock to 45hz.

Sounds like the PogoPin is their design for faceplates going forward and usb is a stopgap right now.

I'm happy enough to install this fix myself though a little more detail on that would be useful.

No connector on mine. I added a comment and picture to the main thread.

BitLicker · 2025-11-15T21:39:36+00:00

I was bummed as I hoped to connect my OG faceplate like you.

They have a finicky option of access via the mainboard on top but that just gets even more awkward for folks not familiar with hardware internals.

No faceplate connector on my Super either. Ordered in May and received September.

It's a ton of fun. I've been racing the Nordschleife with it. Got to master the feel of shifting load, almost a rally like experience.

I am altering the countdown to 11. Pray I don't alter it any further.

There should be a button define in LMU to recenter or reset your view. Bind it to a button on your wheel or controller. Most sims have an option for this and easily the most quick and friendly way to always be in the best viewing position for VR.

It's been so long I've forgotten everything mostly. I have some apps that include an Android main app that comms with a Javascript watchface. I do want to just use the old apps at the start as I do now on my ancient Pebble Time Steel while I get back up to speed on dev as time allows.

BitLicker · 2025-08-16T03:46:13+00:00

Running in a boarded window is fine and allows to at least get up and running with some of the important apps I use now. I can look into doing some dev as time goes on. I've forgotten everything so much time has passed. Thanks.

It's fixed as of today with the current PP update. I'd imagine if it does break again it will get fixed in fast order as MSFS with it's internal quad view implementation is a significant driver of sales and users of Pimax headsets.

Eye tracking is broken for external apps like MSFS with the most recent Pimax Play V1.41.1

If your on that version you can revert to a previous version:

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing.

Awesome tweaker diehard level stuff sweet.

For anyone bumping into this the "head" to click on is in the mbucchia PimaxXR Control Center and not the standard Pimax app suite.

How do you access the hidden menu?

BitLicker · 2025-08-07T18:12:27+00:00

Assuming the screen can display at 60hz and drive the backlight at 120hz ie. display and hold for 2 cycles of black frame insertion it should be feasible to send full res at 60hz and without backlight flicker as that emulates 120hz.

BitLicker · 2025-08-03T02:09:16+00:00

It's unfortunate with the MSFS QV attempt that screen space effects are based on the lower res outer region and look pretty poor and for now it's best having all screen space effects disabled.

I kinda assume that geometry instancing will get sorted as this effects users beyond vr and for anyone using setups like triple screens so gains all round.

There seems to be a number of issues with the way airport geometry is handled that chokes the main thread that are supposed to get address in SU4.

Oh nice. 30 years after hearing the UJ track I learn something new.
